All That Whining

 

The people spoke against God and Moses, “Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no food and no water, and we loathe this miserable food.”

Numbers 21:5

We have all been there. Things aren’t going the way we think they should, so we complain to God. We may be struggling financially or with unruly kids or we may be suffering from a severe case of, “Why me?” It doesn’t matter what it is that sets us off, once we start complaining to God, it’s hard to stop. So, what do we do?

We can remember that it is human nature to whine about what we think is not right in life. And, remember that God has promised to provide everything we need, plus the desires of our heart. Then we can trust God and thank Him for His never ending love and care.

After all, God saw fit to deliver the Israelite to the promise land and they were serial whiners. So, why not me, too?
